Futurewoman

Club Des Femmes is proud to host an evening of feminist
future vision as our contribution to the Horse Hospital's feminist sci fi weekend – Women on the Edge of Time.

We're wondering what will the woman of tomorrow be like? Will technology govern
our future? Or Nature? Or will we?

We’re offering you the chance to share future visions by two
of the world’s most exciting women directors. See Tilda Swinton four times over
in Lynn Hershman-Leeson’s Teknolust: a critique of a world where science
controls our destiny, and Wanuri Kahiu’s Pumzi: an encouragement to an
eco-consciousness now before its too late.

Plus, we’re asking you to help create our very own Club Des
Femmes’ Futurewoman. Working with filmmaker and artist Lisa Gornick, join us
for a night of performative zine-making. Bring your future visions, utopian
ideas, texts, images, visions and concepts and we’ll publish an amalgam of the
night’s findings. What do Club Des Femmes women want for the future? It’s time
to make a plan.

Please join us for a night of future vision and help create the Club des Femmes Futurewoman. If you can't make the event but would like to contribute images, ideas, words or concepts as your part of the zine-making then please email us
